For example, my husband got me a job as an English teacher at a local international school. Usually, the main requirements are: 1. At least a bachelor’s degree in English (or something similar/related). 2. Be a native English speaker. 3. Have a bit of experience teaching English. Didn’t have any, but my husband put in a word for me and I got hired. Was this nepotism or networking?
It’s nepotism when you get hired because you’re related to someone, often disregarding your qualifications for the job.
Someone recommending you, and you going through the normal hiring process and being picked is not nepotism, even when the recommandation has influenced the employer to hire you for the job.
